The Forum Thread can be viewed here, look for Ghostcrawler's post. It looks like this:
Exactly what is Ghostcrawler saying there? Earlier in that thread he posted a single-word reply, saying "Okay", which had everyone tripping all over themselves.
Excuse me, but "okay" does not necessarily mean the same as "Yes, we'll do this".
"Okay" means "I hear what you're saying." It means "I understand."
GC then posts, "There are 2 additional slots in the stable."
His reply contains another paragraph but it's irrelevant and deals with a change to the summoning of Pets.
"There are 2 additional slots in the stable."
For some reason, everyone who read that interpreted it to mean, "We're adding 2 slots to the stable."
I'm a little more pessimistic (sometimes) and I read it as it's written, "There are 2 additional slots in the stable." And there are. You go to the Stablemaster and check out your Stable, and there's 2 slots. So you can have your current Pet, and you can keep 2 more in the additional Pet slots in the stable.
Maybe I'm a little jaded after playing for three years, but personally I think if Blizzard were going to increase the number of Stable Slots they'd have done it a long time ago.
Why include something like that in the expansion? Because it will give Hunters a reason to buy it? I doubt it. Most Hunters currently playing are going to buy the expansion anyway. There's absolutely no reason for them to code that in just to increase sales by a tiny amount.
There's an old gamer saying that I think is very appropriate in this situation.
"More stable slots? Screenshot, or it didn't happen!"
Ghostcrawler's post on the Forum is inadequate. I'll believe Hunters have more Stable slots when I see that change go live, but I probably won't see it. By that time I suspect I'll be playing Diablo 3 with my son.
*EDIT - A screenshot from BRK has shown Hunters will get 5 Stable Slots in Wrath. Rejoice!

I see what you're getting at.
GC's statement "There are 2 additional slots in the stable" to me sounds like GC was simply pointing out that there are 2 extra slots on top of the existing one in the stable that most people use.
In other words, 'you have 3 slots already, you don't need more'.
